My mom has an older kindle and a Sony PRS-650. She has tried using the touchscreen and hated it. I've want to upgrade her to a larger front-lit reader but she won't give up the buttons. On the other hand, I was first in line when the front-lit readers came out and now I wouldn't consider a reader without it. Admittedly, neither of us use any of the extra features like the dictionary - we just read them as you would a paper book. I used to upgrade our readers every year but recently there hasn't been anything compelling enough where I've felt the need to. Other than the ability to change font size, things like font styles, higher resolution, faster page turns are nice but not must haves if you are happy with your current reader.
